Snug As A Pug

Your dog just went out the back door alone. You have 60 seconds before a coyote can strike.

RIGHT NOW: Coyote mating season (next 4-6 weeks). Males are territorial, aggressive, and hunting small pets.

What happens: Silent. Fast. Your pet is gone before you hear anything.

What to do TODAY:
→ NEVER let pets out alone (day or night)
→ Leash walks only (even in your yard)
→ Scan yard before opening door
→ Motion lights + air horn by door

Your dog trusts you to protect them. They can't protect themselves from a 40-pound predator.

Go outside WITH them. Every. Single. Time.

Today we received the heartbreaking news that our sweet furiend, Fergus, has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈💔

Fergus was the happiest little Ewok you could ever meet. He brought joy to everyone who knew him—or even just saw his picture. He was full of love, always ready with kisses, and adored being carried around and doted on. True to his spirited nature, he’d occasionally try to keep up with his brother, Baron, just to show he could.

On walks, Fergus rode proudly in the puppy stroller, begging to get out now and then to sniff alongside his brother before being lifted back in to be wheeled around like the tiny, pampered royal he was. Treats were one of his greatest joys, and his signature happy tappy feet in anticipation never failed to make us smile.

Fergus will be so deeply missed. Our most heartfelt condolences go out to his family as they mourn the loss of such a cherished best friend. We are honored to have known and loved him. 💕🐾

We have a few random days with no one other than Roxi here so we will be taking a little impromptu couple of days off. We will return to normal on Thursday evening when our weekend pups start returning. Until then enjoy these pics of our Weekend Crewties. As we have so few pups here for the work week this week we have decided to simply put yesterday and today's pups in with this weekend's post and Thursday's pups will be included in next weekend's pups.

It's a full on invasion out here 🥴😱. These kitties have zero survival skills. They decided it was a good day to break out of their area and come play with the dogs. Thankfully Banjo, Dolly and Murphy decided they were just some weird fluffy dogs and invited them to play with the pack.

Meet Dobby! The cutest lil corgi butt you've ever seen. He's had a busy morning meeting new friends through kennel gates and playing with The Receptionist. He's now all pooped out and recharging. Neither Banjo nor Ranger was quite sure what to think of the wriggly, bouncy, play bowing ball of fur the size of their heads. But they both quietly allowed him to sniff them through the gates. He's a little too little for me to comfortably allow him to play with the large boys.

Kora Belle left and Chance said, "Hey, I'm leaving too!" And brought me his harness and leash. Soon buddy ❤️.

I'm beginning to wonder if the pups just think I'm the PupSMart? 🤔
Yesterday Charlie went shopping for treats and today Kora Belle and Flynn are shopping for toys. The baskets, the cabinets, the magical toy drawer...they know all the stashing places, even moreso than I do. They both seem very happy with their final choices of an octopus for Flynn and to no one's surprise a spikey ball for Kora Belle. 💜

🎉🐾 WELCOME TO THE 2025 TOP 10 CLUB! 🐾🎉

What?! 👀 This year our software did a fun little thing and told us who our Top 10 spenders were… and of course we had to turn it into something special. Thus, the Top 10 Club was born!

We’re hoping to make this an annual tradition, with a few fun changes to the gifts each year. While scanning the list, we were shocked to see some of our weekly regulars missing—until it clicked… multiple-dog households change EVERYTHING 🤯🐶🐶🐶

So while it’s technically a “Top 10,” it actually turned into 19 incredible dogs who make up this year’s club!

✨ Quick update: 7 of our 10 plaques arrived a little less than stellar, so replacements are on the way. Once they arrive, we’ll be reaching out to schedule pickup or meetup times.

Until then… here’s a sneak peek at the Top 10 Club goody bags for 2025 👀🎁

And to absolutely no one’s surprise… Roxi took first place 🏆🐕

Our other Top 10 Club members (in no particular order):
🐾 Charlie (S.)
🐾 Rosalie
🐾 Lola & Sadie
🐾 Charlie, Bailey & Abby
🐾 Charlie, Marshmallow & Zero
🐾 Bubba, Buster & Bella
🐾 Bob & Betty
🐾 Susan & Vera
🐾 Willow & Lucy

💛 Congratulations and a HUGE thank you to all of our Top 10 Club members—and to everyone who continues to trust us with your pups. You allow us to live our dream of loving on your dogs while you’re away, and we truly could not do this without each and every one of you.

So long 2025. Here’s to an amazing 2026 and many more tail wags ahead! We're so excited to see who will be in 2026's Top 10 Club 🐾✨

Whilst putting away some of the restock I heard a commotion behind me. There's nothing wrong with lil Miss Charlie's nose! These things are even double bagged!

When closely supervised we let Miss Roxi have some muzzle free play time. Tonight her and Murphy decided to play tug. She had originally been playing with it muzzled but was getting frustrated when it would fall out. So sweet how she keeps trying to get him to keep playing.
*Roxi boards in our garage, not the business building. Please excuse the mess 😊.
